We're all within 7 or so years of age, except the boat repair who is considerably older.

This isn't a contest IMO, we all do more than OK. But it's definitely not fair to say that college pays more than trades. Both have huge swaths of pay ranges, from effectively zero, to millions. But if you're optimizing for making as much money as possible, I'd argue you're doing it wrong anyways.

The details matter - 7 years is medical school and some residencies for example.

To not take into account the age is silly. And the entire point of the original post is arguing about earnings, so…
